As an aside, I don't agree with the use of immediate lethal force even

proper disposition of that situation is the role of the courts. The
police shouldn't act as judge, jury and executioner.

Yes, it is a generalization but in many cases it would work. Have you
ever watched Live PD when it was on?

Do you realize that "Live PD" is a TV show, and doesn't bear
any relationship to real policing or real life. Real life would be far
too boring for the type of people who watch that type of mindless
programming.
